Tips for writing it

Thanksgiving is a natural moment for workplace gratitude because it doesn’t feel forced. Thank your coworker for something specific, like covering for you, helping on a project, or making the office friendlier. Keep jokes universal and the tone warm.

Thanksgiving 2026 is Thursday, November 26, and many people take Wednesday or Friday off. Send cards on Monday or Tuesday of that week, November 23 or 24, so they arrive while everyone is still at work.
